Hi guys,

This project is finished for a while, but only now I was able to make a full video of it. All made from brazilian woods and some copper wire. The descent is a docked module, so if new ideas come up, we only need to build and change the module!

Kids love the idea of a continuous motion of marble balls. See the video...




Thanks,
Gweigert.

Nice job! I have always wanted to build a Rube Goldberg type game/toy like that. Well done.

Great Job. I could play with that all day. Seems like with all the moving parts, an unlimited amount of accessories could be added. This is also for big kids

David, I doubt if many on here under the age of 70 know Rube Goldberg.

You do if you're cool!

This is true. Really cool people know really cool things.

nice job

VERY nicely done, Gweigert !!
I bought the "Premade Kit" last year for my grandkids and it
was a blast to put together. even tho it was a pre-cut kit project,
there were several pieces that did not fit well and I had to make duplicates.
also, it had several plastic parts that I duplicated in wood to get it to be
all wood as much as possible. my kit has 4 modules that you can swap around
and if certain load and exit points aren't exactly spot on, it will not work.
this is a very fun project and I admire anyone that makes one from scratch
using just shop tools and plans.
again, VERY well done !! looking forward to seeing more modules to go with it.
I find that the more mechanical noise it makes, the more fun it is to watch.
also, if you paint some of the balls different colors, the kids can pick a color and
watch "their" ball go through the complete cycle.
